Parratt released ?

[HighlanderICT]

Rumour has it that Tom Parratt has been released. cant see us selling Proctor to the Arabs now.

[strathyjags]

strange move if true,he looked pretty promising and had a bright future ahead,its not as if we need to slash our wage bill?

[RiG]

This better not be true!  :008:

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

Here is an exclusive picture of his departure.

[Scotty]

Moving this to another forum as it has now been confirmed as true.

[RiG]

So we now have no cover for Tokely at right back?

[Yngwie]

I suppose Caff is the cover, but it's not his position.

[RiG]

I suppose Caff is the cover, but it's not his position.

Yup totally agree. I don't feel that Caff is suited to that position at all. I know he can play there but he is not a designated right back as far as I can see. He is a central defender. He doesn't give enough going forward like Bambi or Parratt would do. I am very disappointed that we are looking like losing both these players now  :008:

[kencar]

So  has he actually been released??

A few weeks ago they were looking to farm him out on loan.

Very odd indeed  :017:

[Johnboy]

I thought Parrat looked very crestfallen last time I saw him.....

[Harry Chibber]

:010: :010: :010:

Bit shocked he's been let go, especially since it looks like we're getting rid of Proctor aswell!!

all the best to him

[Scotty]

Kencar

he has left the club "by mutual agreement".

[kencar]

Cheers Scotty

Bit surprised to be honest. We are overloaded with midfielders and we get rid of a defender  :006:

Thought he looked a decent prospect. Still I'm sure there is a good reason

[Queen Beastie]

I heard something at the St Mirren game that may be the reason as to why he's gone.  I'm not going to start spreading rumours but will say that it had nothing to do with his abilities as a player.

Have to say I am a bit disappointed as I thought he looked good in the pre season game I saw him play in.

With Proctor all but away we really need to make sure there's cover for Rossco.

[davieB]

Does this not leave us a bit short on defensive options?

Hastings

Dods(for how long??)

Munro

Caff

Tokely

Golly

Any others??

[IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER]

This thread is a load of Parrat droppings.

[strathyjags]

very suprised were so keen to sell proctor now with no cover for rossco,and he doesnt look fully fit

[Scotty]

IHE - It appears to be true - did you miss your morning cuppa today ?

[Kind of Blue]

He never struck me as much of a player, but good luck to him anyway.

[Kingsmills]

I thought he was a decent prospect. Sorry to hear this news.

[L_G]

He has left the building.

Official Site

Hope he finds a club soon.

[RiG]

I think this is a poor decision by ICT. With the uncertainty surrounding Dods and Proctor, letting our other right back leave the club is a daft decision. Caff can play there but what if Dods leaves? He will go to centre back leaving us with no established cover for right back or in the centre of defence.

IMO - a poor decision.

[strathyjags]

i agree with rig would be madness to let proctor go now after this

[RiG]

He's gone to Accies

[IcyTea]

Looking at davieB's list we look flakey in the defence especially if we are hit with injuries. Thought Parratt looked good when he came on against Alloa and had a good turn of pace.

Hastings (Good)

Munro (Good)

Dods(for how long??)

Proctor (for how long??)

Caff (Establishing himself back into the team)

Tokely (IMHO, not preforming to his usual standards....yet)

Golly (Has been cr@p for the last 12 months)
